What makes us good or evil? It’s a simple but deeply unsettling question. One that scientists are now starting to answer.

Horizon meets the researchers who have studied some of the most terrifying people behind bars – psychopathic killers.

But there was a shock in store for one of these scientists, Professor Jim Fallon, when he discovered that he had the profile of a psychopath. And the reason he didn’t turn out to be a killer holds important lessons for all of us.

We meet the scientist who believes he has found the moral molecule and the man who is using this new understanding to rewrite our ideas of crime and punishment.

With the US raising their debt ceiling, are we in a global bail-out bubble that will eventually burst? This doc offers a fresh insight into the greatest economic crisis of our age: the one still awaiting us.

The financial storm that has rocked the world began brewing in the US when congress pushed the idea of home ownership for all, propping up those who couldn’t make the down payments. When it all went wrong the government promised the biggest financial stimulus packages in history and gargantuan bailouts. But what crazed logic is that: propping up debt with more debt? “They’re giving alcohol to a drunk: it just sets him up for a bigger hangover.”

UD Admin comment: Jesse’s getting a little off track from real conspiracies and government coverups this season (of which there are plenty to cover)…but enjoy the show, it’s still entertaining.

“Science has made major breakthroughs in drug research and transplant technology by experimenting on “chimeras” — human/animal embryo hybrids. But these seemingly noble goals may be covering up a much more nefarious purpose — to create half human, half ape super soldiers, paving the way for a real life Planet of the Apes showdown. Jesse and his team storm the Yerkes Primate Research Center, hidden in the backwoods of Georgia, to find out the truth about “humanzees” — who may already be walking the earth!”

From the filmmaker: There are many well-meaning creationists who have just been misinformed. It takes a good deal of time to come to a thorough understanding of a major scientific theory; and many just don’t have the luxury of investing enough. They often become the unwitting victims of a few charlatans, and of their own confirmation bias.

It is the evangelical creationist leaders who are the main targets of my criticism. These men either should know better; or they are deliberately lying. Some, like Ray Comfort while on Pat Robertson’s show, are obviously lying. Ken Ham sabotages the minds of children with stupid questions like “Were you there?” and other “suicide of the mind” statements. Eric Hovind teaches people to ignore evidence and just mindlessly parrot “you wouldn’t have science/logic/reason if it weren’t for [insert personal god-belief or holy book here].” – or some such crap like that.

It is these and other creationist leaders who I reserve my strongest language for. The only thing I would say to the rest is – look at the evidence.

How does one explain the sophistication of design readily apparent in the universe, from the galactic to the molecular? If you think that all this, even the very eyes you’re reading this with, occurred randomly, or by chance, then you have much greater faith than any theist…

Bear with me here: quantum physics shows us how time and space are an illusion i.e. there is no ‘here’ or ‘there’. There is no ‘me’ or ‘you’ either because that would require time and space.

Therefore, there is no ‘god’. We are god, the universe is god. Whatever it is you think you’re praying to is just an aspect of yourself, of everything else.

But that’s ok, I know religious people won’t be persuaded by that argument, or indeed any other for that matter. To them I just say this: one of the symptoms of delusion is a complete inability to accept an other point of view.

I believe evolutionism to be just as much a religious dogma as evolutionists believe creationism to be. No scientist was there to witness either one happening. Neither one can be tested in a laboratory. This takes BOTH out of the realm of science.
I resent the idea that only fundamentalist Protestant Christians believe in Creation.
I also resent the idea that evolutionism is “scientific” when nothing is further from the truth. It’s about time evolutionism be recognized for what it is: religious dogma.

“I will say again: one thing I have noticed about religious people is their complete inability to consider another point of view.”

And I will say again: Sounds like a perfect description of YOURSELF.

The fact is, you contradict yourself. You claim you were once such an oh-so-religious Christian, then you changed your mind, thus invalidating your own premise (the falsely so-called inability of Christians to consider and adopt other point of view).

“Oh, they’ll ‘listen’ and may even admit that the other person has a point. But as for changing their beliefs? No chance!”

Do you require Hindus to change their beliefs to suit you? Muslims? Jews? Then why on earth do you demand that Christians change their beliefs to suit you? Why should they? I’m sure there are far more evolutionists who become creationists than the other way around, but those who remain evolutionists are every bit as dogmatic and pigheaded about their beliefs as any Protestant Fundamentalist Christian!
